1Huan, TOUPA thu Jona kiangah a hongtung nawn leuleu a.
1The word of Yahweh came to Jonah the second time, saying,
2Thou inla, Ninevi khua, khopi thupi takah hoh inla, thu gen di ka honchih va tangkou pihin, chiin.
2“Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and preach to it the message that I give you.”
3Huchiin, Jona a thoua, TOUPA thu bangin Ninevi khua ah a hohta hi. Ninevi bel khopi thupi petmah, nithum pai a ching a.
3So Jonah arose, and went to Nineveh, according to the word of Yahweh. Now Nineveh was an exceedingly great city, three days’ journey across.
4Jona ni khat pai chiang khopi sungah a valut phota, Tua pat ni sawmliin, Ninevi hihman ahi sin hi, chiin, a kikou a.
4Jonah began to enter into the city a day’s journey, and he cried out, and said, “In forty days, Nineveh will be overthrown!”
5Ninevi miten Pathian a gingta ua; an ngawl ding chiin a phuang ua, a lak ua a lianpen akipan a neupen tanin saiip puan a silh uh.
5The people of Nineveh believed God; and they proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from their greatest even to their least.
6Huai thu Ninevi kho kumpipa bil a hongtungta, a laltutphah akipanin a thoua, a lalpuan a suaha, saiip puan a silha, vut ah a tuta hi.
6The news reached the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, and took off his royal robe, covered himself with sackcloth, and sat in ashes.
7Kumpipa leh a mi liante thupiakin kumpipan Ninevi khosung ah thu a phuangin a pulakta. Mihing hiam, gan hiam, bawng hon hiam, belam hon hiamtein bangmah chiam kei u hen: nein tui leng dawn kei uhen:
7He made a proclamation and published through Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying, “Let neither man nor animal, herd nor flock, taste anything; let them not feed, nor drink water;
8Mihing leh ganten saiip puan silh jaw uhenla, nakpi takin Pathian sam uhen: ahi, mi chihin amau lampi hoih lou leh a khut ua hiamgamna lehngatsan uhen.
8but let them be covered with sackcloth, both man and animal, and let them cry mightily to God. Yes, let them turn everyone from his evil way, and from the violence that is in his hands.
9I man louhna dingin, Pathian lungheiin lungsim kilehheiin, a heh mahmahna akipan a kilehhei kei ding chih kuan ahia thei? chiin.Huchiin, Pathianin a thilhihte uh enin, a lampi hoih lou uh a lehngatsan uh chih a mua; a kiang ua a chihsa, hih a tup thil hoihlou Pathianin a leh ngatsana; a hihta kei hi.
9Who knows whether God will not turn and relent, and turn away from his fierce anger, so that we might not perish?”
10Huchiin, Pathianin a thilhihte uh enin, a lampi hoih lou uh a lehngatsan uh chih a mua; a kiang ua a chihsa, hih a tup thil hoihlou Pathianin a leh ngatsana; a hihta kei hi.
10God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way. God relented of the disaster which he said he would do to them, and he didn’t do it.
